To backup your install of Mayan EDMS just copy the ``media`` folder and
the database content.

If you are using the default storage backend, the ``media`` should be located
at |MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT|::

    sudo tar -zcvf backup.tar.gz |MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT|

To dump the content of your database manager refer to the documentation chapter
regarding database data "dumping".
